      ~ Act II ~ 21 ~ The Valiant Never Taste of Death but Once ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Twilight Sparkle had faced nightmare versions of herself before. It was, however, one thing to face a Twilight she’d created. It was another thing entirely to face one Rarity designed. If she’d had the time to think, to pause everything and reflect upon it, she’d have felt rather horrible at seeing how that one sunforsaken mistake two years ago still haunted her significant other. But… But there was no time to sit and feel awful because the nightmare Twilight didn’t much care for any of…

      ~ Act II ~ 22 ~ The Filly Who Believed ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic No one said anything after that, and especially less so Princess Twilight Sparkle. But then you came back. The statement rang in her head like a haze, every word making sense individually but not as a whole. ‘You were dead and you came back’ would make sense. ‘You were dead, then you came back’ would make sense. But she had said neither of those things. Huh. “Oh. Okay.” “Okay?” Rarity asked, looking up at the alicorn. “Okay?” “Yes,” Twilight replied,…

      ~ Act III ~ 29 ~ The Longest Night ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Rarity returned to Spitfire’s apartment with a knot in her stomach, twisting and twisting and twisting some more. Threads of hope kept together her will to fight, but even then she knew they were frayed and might give in at any moment. So much of her had come undone already, it was hard to think it could get any worse. For now, she clung to one belief. There was no map. Therefore, finding all the books would free Twilight, once and for all. But… but Discord had returned. He’d chosen to…

      ~ Act I ~ 07 ~ The Search For Princess Booky ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “Today is going to be great.” Slamming her book shut, Rarity allowed a deviously pleased smile to grace her lips. She spent at least two library visits planning today, and there was absolutely no way it could or would go wrong. Today, she would stop being the only soul to know of Princess Twilight’s existence. Today, she would henceforth be able to face the odd stares with a bit more confidence. Today, she would no longer be crazy. Today, Fluttershy would meet Twilight, and then she’d…

      ~ Act I ~ 03 ~ The Questions in the Labyrinth ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “Twilight, how are we supposed to live here?” “The princess will help me build a library here, Spike. I need to have my books nearby during my research if we want to find a weapon to stop him.” “But… how are we supposed to hide from him with a library here? He will find it! It isn’t as if we can build a secret library under the tree…” “…Spike, you just gave me a great idea…” The history of the Everfree Forest was shrouded in as much mystery as…

      ~ Act II ~ 17 ~ The Art of Falling Apart ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic They’d been there before, hadn’t they? Once upon a time, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Rarity the Unicorn had a sleepover with all their friends—they played games, shared stories, and had more fun than Twilight remembered having in quite some time. Three days later, Rarity got cursed, maimed, and taken away from her. Twice upon a time, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Rarity the Unicorn had a sleepover with all their friends—they played games, shared dreams, and had more fun than Princess…

      ~ Act I ~ 08 ~ The Last Letter of Fritter Cobbler ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic “Very well, Princess. I think I have all I need to be allowed into the castle.” “You don’t know how long it will be until you return?” “No, but you shouldn’t worry about that. There is no way to tell the time here, so just pretend it’ll just be a few hours!” “I can’t do that…” “You have to try. I have to go now. My brother is waiting for me, and we need to get there before sunset.” “…Please be careful.” “Princess, don’t look so distressed. It…

      ~ Act II ~ 18 ~ The Star Will Aid In Her Escape ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic It felt like months since the fight. Months since the tainted entrails of Twilight and Rarity's relationship had been exposed. It felt so faraway, so unimportant, so blurred. Maybe that was the sleep-deprivation. The fascinating thing about being sleep-deprived, Twilight learned, is that the longer you go without sleeping, the more time and space blur together; a messy mix and match of fragmented memories that somehow make sense if you don’t think about it too much. Like a dream. In the…
